## About

Freelance marketplace connecting businesses with remote professionals for project-based work

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, verified in March 2026, when community testing found the site returns a 403 Forbidden error from Syrian connections, preventing access to the entire platform. The team contacted the company through its website form that same month and received only an automated confirmation; no substantive response has followed.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-25 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer submitted a message through GoLance's website contact form with the subject "Request to Enable Service Access in Syria," requesting confirmation on whether Syria can be onboarded and supported on the platform. A confirmation was received: "Your message has been successfully sent. We'll be in touch with you shortly!"

- 2026-03-23 — Investigated. Community testing confirmed that GoLance is blocked in Syria. Accessing golance.com from a Syrian IP returns a 403 Forbidden error served by nginx. The block prevents access to the entire site including job listings, freelancer profiles, and account features.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
